I wonder if the folks at NBC feel this way; they left thw phrase "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the broadcast of the US (golf) Open championship TWICE!
"Breathes there the man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land." -Sir Walter Scott, 'The Lay of the Last Minstrel'
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."

Do you know Wilfred Owen's poem of the same name?

The old lie.

What a pleasing melange of muscled hunks in speedos
My hands crave the sword to fight.
